Appian vs. Jeeva AI

Appian works great for automating manual processes and integrating multiple systems through its toolset. It gives great flexibility for establishing rules for approvals, routings, escalations, and the like. Because of the low code toolset, it's very easy to deploy and make changes as needed as processes evolve and as the organization learns to utilize the system better. Minimal maintenance is required to support the applications build on the platform. Some of the automated testing integration with tools like Jenkins is limited so that may be an issue for some.

If anyone is looking to pile up the list of email lists to send out e-blast or cold messages, I would highly recommend Jeeva AI. However, if anyone needs more of organic work, I would recommend using Jeeva AI to collect contact information, but do the work manually.

• Allows at a glance workflow documentation which assists in the need we have for information readiation.
• Drag and drop interface for workflow development greatly speeds our apps time to market.
• Using the advanced features of Appian, we are able to create working sites in a fraction of the time it would take to do so using "traditional" development.

• Finding specific leads according to descriptions provided
• Allowing customers to experience Jeeva AI by offering free credits
• Following up with leads

• Search issues when type ahead and database search are used in the same field.
• Buttons implementation where user is require[d] to click on the button description - if clicks on the button outside that text - button will not work.
• Problems with using certain off-the-shelf performance tools like WebLoad or Neoload. That is because of different dynamic variables being used internally in Appian - which these tools are unable to correlate. We are still investigating using other tools like Jmeter to overcome dynamic correlation problem for performance testing.

• You run out of credits very fast, they charge per email sent. The credits should be for lead generation not emailing.
• Incorporate delivery results, bounce results, mailer unfound results, etc... We can not see any of those metrics.
• Incorporate a text sequence campaign as well. To be one stop shop for contacting all ways.

We recently renewed our license with Appian. We are convinced that its flexibility, relative ease of use, the support they provide, there mobile advancements and their general willingness and desire to see us succeed all contributed to our reason to renew our agreement with Appian

Appian is a low code environment, because of this, a very good visual interface is required. Appian is providing a feature-rich dashboard [that] we can use for building the dashboards and other interfaces. Appian also provides patches and releases to enhance these features. A developer can start off development just by going through a basic course from the Appian learning community.

Jeeva is composed of individual products / features that form a robust, automation-based, outbound system when combined. Parts of the tech stack within Jeeva itself – can be difficult to work with independently. Some of what the individual products provided makes you ask why? Why was this individual product / feature implemented

Appian is one of the leading low code business automation platforms that support RPA, decision rules, case management, workflow automation, and machine learning all in a single bundle. But it is also harder to implement and replace the traditional business process.

As analyst I participated in a developer boot camp. At times it was hard to keep up but most of the time it made sense. Trainer took the time to explain and slowed pace down to answer questions etc.

Very boring; hard to get through quickly, but rather effective in demonstrating the use of the platform.

It was really seamless. SaaS in the true definition of the word. We logged on and started using the product. Very easy.

Appian has enormously transformed and keeps on updating the product every quarter to meet the latest needs of the world with new innovations & technologies being integrated within the platform. What gives more pleasure than a product that keeps on continuous[ly] improv[ing]?

Jeeva AI is less straightforward than Sales Nav. It seems that it is trying to be everything that Sales Nav is, but not quite achieving it yet. The customer service for Linkedin is far superior to Jeeva's. Jeeva's team refused to give me a refund on my first month's subscription despite their refund policy clearly stating that I was entitled to it. This has never happened before with Linkedin Sales Nav.

• I believe it has negatively impacted our release dates. There may have been a misunderstanding as to the learning curve, even though it is "low code."
• The look and feel of the applications created using Appian have uniformity and it's easier to have "reuse" between applications.
• There is less developer control when it comes to features. I think this mainly has to do with the amount of plugins available. I would think there should be many more available plugins. But again, our use case is probably different than most others.

• We just started and was great for lead generation
• Those leads we can manually email them or call them
• Our sequence campaigns are barely 1 email in, looking forward to see if we get any traction on the last 2 sequences
